Design and development

The majority of Pokémon in Generation I had relatively simple designs and were highly analogous to real-life creatures
including but not limited to: Pidgey (a pigeon), Krabby (a crab), Rattata (a rat), Ekans (a snake), Arbok (a cobra), Seel (a
seal), and Dewgong (a dugong). Many Pokémon in the original games served as the base for repeating concepts later in
the series.[1]

alternative to Weedle.
Its appearance is
based on the Eastern
Tiger Swallowtail.
The outer shell of
Metapod is extremely
hard, but the insides
are very soft due to
the changes that it is
undergoing. It may not

times, a rival to it.
Pidgeotto was the
second Pokémon that
Ash Ketchum caught
on his journey in the
anime. Pidgeotto is

groups of Rattatas to

whittle its teeth down,
but it does so on
harder objects such as
 steel, wood, rocks,
fruit, and more. Like
Rattata, Raticate has
an Alolan form that is
a Dark/Normal type.
It eats bugs in grassy
areas and has to flap
its short wings at high-
speed to stay
airborne. Spearows
are said to have short
temperaments, and
tend to swarm
perceived enemies in
Onisuzume Beginning large flocks. It is an
Spearow

Fearow (#022)

is "kobra" (which is
pronounced the same
as "cobra") spelled
backwards. In the
Generation I beta, its
name was "Nagaasp".
Pikachu 25 Electric Pichu Raichu (#026) Pikachu is the primary
 Pikachū ( ピ (#172) Gigantamax mascot of the
カチュウ )
Pokémon franchise,
as well as Pokémon
Yellow and Let's Go,
Pikachu!. It is also
playable in every
Super Smash Bros.
game. Its Gigantamax
form looks like its old
sprite from Red and
Blue with a glowing,
whitish tail. It raises
its tail to check its
surroundings and it
sometimes gets
struck by lightning in
that pose. If Pikachu
sees something new,
it will shock it with
electricity. When you
will see blackened
marks on the ground,
you will find out that
Pikachu had mistook
its electrical power.
Raichu ライ
Raichū ( 26 Electric Pikachu End of evolution It is primarily orange
チュウ )
(#025) and has a lightning
bolt at the end of its
tail. It can store over
100,000 volts of
electricity. Raichu has
an Alolan form that is
an Electric/Psychic
type. Raichu and
Alolan Raichu were
created by Atsuko
Nishida.[21] Dexerto
magazine wrote that
Raichu will "never be
forgotten due to its
close ties to Pikachu"
but will always be
"stuck playing second
fiddle" to the series'
mascot.[22] Raichu
has received generally
positive reception. It
was also included as
part of a Burger King
Big Kids' Meal
promotion.[23] The
Chicago Sun-Times
called Raichu an "old
favorite."[24] Loredana
Lipperini, author of the
book Generazione
Pókemon: i bambini e
l'invasione planetaria
dei nuovi, commented
that Raichu was not
as hugely popular as
Pikachu.[25] Ryan
Omega, author of
Anime trivia quizbook,
commented that
Raichu "isn't that cute"
and that this is why
Ash did not want to
evolve his Pikachu.[26]
Pierre Bruno, author of
La culture de l'enfance
à l'heure de la
mondialisation,
 compared the battle
between Lt. Surge's
Raichu and Ash's
Pikachu to the Biblical
story David and
Goliath.[27] IGN editor
"Pokémon of the Day
Chick" noted that
Raichu was "loved by
many and despised by
more," though she
clarified that the
hatred for Raichu was
nowhere near the
hatred for Pikachu.
She went on to
describe it as “stupid-
looking.”[28]
GamesRadar editor
Brett Elston
commented that
because of the high
level of emphasis on
Pikachu, it's “easy to
forget Raichu even
exists.”[29]

Official Nintendo

placed ninth as one of
the best ghost

the magazine
attributed to its

called it a "pimp".[56]
Game Informer called
it the 32nd best

Revolution also
included it in its list of

Hernandez criticised
its Mega form, despite
her admiration for
Gengar. She felt that it
didn't get better, just
weirder. She also felt
that its rarer alternate
colour was worse-
looking than its normal
 form.[59] Its Mega
form was ranked third
in a poll of Japanese
readers by Famitsu
among other Mega
forms.[60] Joshua Yehi
of IGN included
Gengar on 10
Pokémon we want in
Super Smash Bros.

when it opens its

your loved ones in

go towards it, it is
thought to send you
